When conducting business these days, considering the world in which we live in, it is getting more common to see lawsuits and/or claims being filed in excess of one million dollars. Now, imagine if it was your company that was held liable for a claim or judgment over one million dollars.

If you had planned ahead and secured a Las Vegas, NV Umbrella Policy, chances are, it would have covered the additional settlement amount, and, in turn, let your company survive and not have to resort to closing its doors.
